Douglas County Commissioners Tim Freeman, Chris Boice and Tom Kress are accepting applications for three volunteer positions on the Douglas County Parks Advisory Board.

The board is recruiting for: Position 2- South, Position 4- At Large, and Position 5 – At Large.

The PAB meets monthly and is comprised of seven citizen members from around the county who serve four-year terms. They review policies and rules for the operation of the Parks Department and recommend actions to the Board of Commissioners as well as the Parks Director.

A release said the county seeks to diversify the application pool with applicants who represent all areas of the county, and who have specific skills or backgrounds in areas that would benefit the county parks system. Members need to be a resident of the county, have demonstrated an interest, and experience relevant to the needs of the county’s parks department.

Applications are available at: https://douglascounty-oregon.us/266/Parks-Advisory-Board or in-person at the Board of Commissioner’s office in room 217 of the courthouse.

Board recruitment will remain open until positions are filled.
